Anyone getting the games first before the console?

No offense, but if you're not getting the console until March, that's a terrible idea to get the games early. You're just throwing away money. If you wait until 2014 to pick the games up when they're cheaper you'll easily save enough money to buy an additional game.

I highly doubt after 4 months games will be cheaper. It takes at least 6 months (maybe more) until a price drop occurs.

You may highly doubt it, but I am absolutely certain that you'll be able to get the games for cheaper if you wait. You can almost always find a sale at an online/physical retailer within months, sometimes less, where you can get a game for $40 or less. I highly recommend visiting a site like cheapassgamer.com to check in on deals. Even if MSRPs don't drop, retailers will absolutely be discounting games. If you're waiting until March, I guarantee you that any launch game you want will be available for $30-40 at some point between Jan-March, if not less.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just saying that you're wasting money if you pay MSRP, especially 3 months after a game releases. If you plan to buy 3 games, for instance, you could easily save anywhere between $50-90 if you just wait instead of buying them full price before you even own the system.

I did it for both Xbox's, I bought KoToR (played it on a friends console) and then I did it with Perfect Dark zero (very disappointed in the game) until I was able to afford the xbox 360. but I will not do that for this generation.

Really? Amazon always has amazing after xmas sales in early Jan. Also, Assassins Creed will be half price or less within 4 months at gamefly. Always is. All of these launch games will be dirt cheap in four or five months.

Yeah, I plan on buying games that interest me until I buy my PS4, TC. Unfortunately, there are very few games that actually interest me. I guess I will get Killzone: Shadow Fall on launch day and then wait until the better games come out like Witcher 3. I plan on getting my PS4 next Fall.
